Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: validate ACPI object type in tci_raw()
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 18:18:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102181827.1989460-1-tristan@talencesecurity.com> (raw)
tci_raw() calls acpi_evaluate_object() and uses the returned buffer as
an ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE without checking its type field. If the ACPI method
returns a different object type, accessing package.count and
package.elements interprets whatever data the union holds as a package
descriptor.
Add a type check before accessing the package fields. Return AE_TYPE
when the result is not a package, when the package has more elements
than TCI_WORDS, or when any element is not an ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
